Further Education and Language Schools

Further Education and International School groups

The stunning Victorian house and galleries offer a popular and unique learning experience for language school visits. We recommend that teachers come to look around the house first to plan their visit. Use our fantastic collections as inspiration for your own art or literacy work or step back in time and explore Victorian and Edwardian history.

Over the last three years we have welcomed students from Bournemouth University’s prestigious MA in Digital Effects course, who have explored the house looking for inspiration for their film projects. Watch an example of their exciting work here.

How to book

We welcome group visits all year round, for enquiries or to make a group booking please contact us on 01202 451858 (during opening hours) or email russellcotes@bournemouth.gov.uk.

Teachers are to accompany students at all times and one teacher is to supervise a maximum of ten students. To protect the fragile historic house and our world-class collections, bags and rucksacks are not permitted. Please ensure that students do not bring these items into the house. We provide lockers for valuables.

Coaches can drop off passengers on Westover Road, close to the museum. This location is convenient for other coach drop-off points in Bournemouth. More Coach Parking details here.

*Please confirm language group visits with the Russell-Cotes at least 48 hours in advance to get the Pre-booked rate.
